Great Fall Weather for Albies and a Few Black Sea Bass Too!

September 24, 2017 captpeter9

Fished early with a fly rod only guy from the Hartford suburbs. Got in to a bunch of small Bluefish right at first light.  I expected the Albies to still be jumping in the boat but not so much today. I've found in years past that perfectly calm and warm weather usually means a slowing… Continue reading Great Fall Weather for Albies and a Few Black Sea Bass Too!

Albies for the Wedding Party!?!?!?

September 23, 2017September 23, 2017 captpeter9

Fished with Timothy, recently from Germany but originally from the States, today. I was contacted by his fiancé about a month ago with a request to take Timothy, his son and brother Albie fishing as a wedding gift. Trick was he was getting married in Milford at 4 PM and we were fishing from 6… Continue reading Albies for the Wedding Party!?!?!?

14 Albies in 1 1/2 hours!

September 22, 2017September 23, 2017 captpeter9

Fished with Adam from Waterford CT yesterday. Wind was blowing 35 MPH but we snuck in behind the coast as best we could. Albies were everywhere and luckily close enough to the boat dock. Adam is a pretty experienced spin fisherman and we were able to get 14 Albies in an hour and a half.… Continue reading 14 Albies in 1 1/2 hours!

Albies everywhere !!

September 18, 2017September 19, 2017 captpeter9

Fished 3 great guys from the Hartford Suburbs today.  All three were experienced fishermen - two on spinning rods and one on the fly.  We were in fish virtually all day and in every spot.  It's hard to imagine Albie fishing any better.  This year's Albies and today's in particular were all big fish, averaging… Continue reading Albies everywhere !!

Porgies or False Albacore?!?!?!

September 18, 2017September 18, 2017 captpeter9

Fished with a fantastic family from CT yesterday - a mom, dad and two kids age 7 and 10.  The idea was a fun half day for the family to catch a boat load of Porgies.  So, off to 'Porgyville' we went.  They ended up with a giant cooler full of Porgies but here's the… Continue reading Porgies or False Albacore?!?!?!

Big False Albacore!

September 15, 2017September 15, 2017 captpeter9

Fished yesterday with Michael and Dovar from Southern CT.  My goal was to get them to catch their first False Albacore.  We stopped at  Race Point and got Bluefish.  We left for Watch Hill and found a few Albies but more boats chasing fish than there were fish.  We were able to get Dovar his… Continue reading Big False Albacore!

False Albacore Heaven!

September 14, 2017September 14, 2017 captpeter9

Fished with Michael from Old Lyme CT yesterday.  Micheal fishes exclusively with the fly rod.  We had Albies everywhere yesterday but found them fussy in what they ate.  Fish were not boat shy at all.  We had dozens of pods throughout the day blow up right at the boat.  We tried every fly known and… Continue reading False Albacore Heaven!

40 Albies in a Half Day Trip With One Angler!!??

September 12, 2017September 13, 2017 captpeter9

Today I fished with a good fisherman, Rick from Connecticut.  We only fished a half day and got 40 Albies to the boat.  Truth be told, I fished a little myself too, but still...40 False Albacore in a half day is crazy good fishing.  Fish on the fly rod ate Albie Whores and fish on… Continue reading 40 Albies in a Half Day Trip With One Angler!!??

Fish on both Tides

September 11, 2017September 11, 2017 captpeter9

Fished a CT local yesterday; he was a good fisherman on spinning gear. We found fish at every spot but one yesterday.  The Bluefish are getting bigger as the fall season gets in full swing and the cooler weather and water has the Stripers chasing and getting to baits that the Bluefish would have beat… Continue reading Fish on both Tides

September 8, 2017September 8, 2017 captpeter9

I fished with a great guy and good fisherman from Connecticut today. The plan was to leave early and head to Watch Hill to look for the years first False Albacore. I didn't fish yesterday but had a good report  that the fish were starting to show.  We no sooner left the dock though and… Continue reading Albies are Here!!!!!!!

Best guide we've ever had! Captain Peter wanted you to catch fish just as much as you wanted to catch fish. He was quick to move when a spot wasn't working....

Peters the best captain around. Knows how to put you on the fish and knows the waters better than anyone I've met. Only capt I'll use.
